The present invention provides a system and method for stopping equipment. The system is an automatic dynamic braking system using color recognition. The automatic braking system comprises a color recognition sensor coupled to a control system. In use, the control system is operably connected to potentially hazardous equipment. The color recognition sensor recognizes a marker worn by an operator, for example, an article of clothing of a predetermined color. When the marker enters a predetermined recognition zone relative to the equipment, the system responds to the event with shut-down procedures. The equipment may be an electric or automatic saw, with the recognition zone being defined relative to a rotating saw blade.
